It's ok. I like how the author links to works for further reading but unfortunately doesn't link to Lane's Lexicon pages which can be done via Project Root List: http://www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm

I like this summary:
https://misconceptions-about-islam.com/dress-code-women-veil.htm

Excerpt:
A headscarf (commonly called "hijab") is often worn by Muslim women, however this word is not used like this in The Quran. In fact, the word "hijab" is not even used to mean an item of clothing and simply means something which intervenes between two things, e.g. barrier, screen, seclusion. All verses where this word occurs are as follows: 7:46, 33:53, 38:32, 41:5, 42:51, 17:45, 19:17, 83:15. It should also be noted that believing men and women are free to eat in each other's company, whether family or friends [24:61], thus a veil covering the face (commonly called "niqab", or the full veil "burqa") would obviously be impractical. Again, such an item of clothing is nowhere to be found in The Quran.

He has quoted Lane
The root ح ج ب means a barrier, partition, veil (Lanes Lexicon page 515).

I didn't say quote, I said link, as in a web link to the page he is quoting from.

A barrier, barricade, partitioning wall is meant for making some place inaccessible to visual noticing.
